Top Mobile Startups in 2026

BullzEye Golf Technologies is building the first AI-powered putting intelligence platform that reads the actual green you’re standing on — in real time, on the iPhone already in your pocket. Putting decides the round. It accounts for up to 40% of every stroke — yet the best tools available to everyday golfers are a coin, a feel, and a prayer. Tour-grade laser mapping systems exist, but they cost five figures, require dedicated hardware, and are banned during competition. We built a different path. Every Pro-class iPhone since 2020 ships with a LiDAR sensor — the same sensor Apple uses for AR and depth capture. BullzEye uses that sensor, combined with ARKit and our proprietary physics solver, to reconstruct a green’s full 3D topology in seconds, then render the optimal putting line directly over the surface in augmented reality. No new hardware. No accounts. No cloud dependency. The core product runs entirely on-device. Our V1 app is scope-locked and launching in public beta November 2026. The pipeline is working: LiDAR-to-putt-line running on device, a ball/hole detector trained on 12,800 labeled frames, and an active R&D session pipeline running with university researchers. A hardware expansion tier — the BullzEye Core Module — follows in 2027, alongside a Pro+ subscription for coaching, cross-device sync, and long-term analytics. Stack: Swift/ARKit/RealityKit on iOS, Python for ML pipelines, Raspberry Pi 5 firmware, Supabase backend. We write docs-first and ship tested code. We are a Delaware C-Corp backed by a founding team of software engineers and competitive golfers, with a patent application on file, an NSF SBIR Phase I in process, and active beta validation underway with student researchers at the University of Neumont. We are raising our seed round now and looking for builders who want to come in early on something real.

10xTravel is one of the most trusted names in points and miles. For over a decade we've taught hundreds of thousands of travelers through our course, editorial content, and a 400,000-strong community how to turn everyday spending into extraordinary travel. In 2026 we launched a subscription product built on top of our points-and-miles platform where members link their cards and get benefit tracking so perks don't go to waste, award-availability alerts, a private community, and tools to get the most points from their cards.

Eiro is founded by three computer science and bioinformatics professors at Vanderbilt University and Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Eiro started as a research effort as part of Wellcome Leap's MCPsych program (wellcomeleap.org/mcpsych), which aimed to leverage data-driven stratification and treatment-matching so as to double the number of people who receive an effective treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD) on the first try. As a part of that program, the Eiro team developed a platform which enables identification of informative biomarkers across multiple data modalities, statistical association of those biomarkers to various treatment outcomes, and optimization for rapid patient reocvery over the trajectories of clinical actions (data collection and/or treatment prescription). Eiro is now focused on translating this technical platform into products that can inform better care for real patients. We are building both patient-facing and clinician-facing interfaces to our technology. Software which makes individualized recommendations about treatment efficacy are regulated by the FDA under the Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) category. This means that both the patient-facing and clinician-facing versions of our technology must be deemed safe and effective in a randomized control trial. In preparation for these clinical trials, we are building out the capabilities to collect patient data at scale, as needed to train and validate our biomarkers against observed treatment outcomes. We are actively recruiting for three founding engineers, a research assistant and an administrative assistant. Please see our open roles for more information.
